Trimble now considered a 4 star WR.

This 2024 team could definitely be an 87OVR but it's so dependent on OL play and Luke.

Only thing I think might be interesting is if the Beckman scenario plays precedent to this. The situations are similar but different(player accused Beckman vs a team doctor filing a suit). It is interesting to note that against Penn State in 2021, Sean Clifford seemed visibly injured/in pain...

Yes I'm talking about the piped weird blue polo collar looking uniforms from the Zook era. All I remember from the Beckman era was the slightly metallic finish looking awful in Orange.

I also miss the slant Illinois helmets, I just wasn't a fan of the jerseys from that era.

Would be interesting to see the underlined Illinois with our current jerseys. I would also like to see how those helmets would look with solid color orange/blue jerseys and not those weird pinstripe/polo collars jerseys we had at the time. So glad that we aren't paying attention to abomination...

Rockford and Arlington Heights are in different universes. Would argue that Arlington Heights is more like Chicago(particularly from a geography/political perspective) than Rockford. Rockford is 60+ miles from Arlington Heights, while AH is less than 30 miles from Chicago. I mean, I'm in...

How does this work with Boosters? Do they have to donate to the school first? I'm sure there are loopholes.

Ahhh a fellow non-alum fan in Chicago(I'm in the western burbs but that counts right??? Right????)

Honestly just feels like posturing for residents of Nebraska. Unless their AD is genuuinely really really in to high school football who cares? They'll sell out and if it was the opposite Memorial Stadium would look empty on a Friday night on national television.

I agree with this. I mean maybe there's some day for our kids or grandkids where there's a high speed rail to the University of Illinois from Chicago/Springfield, but until then the only thing the school can do to prop up the program is win I guess.

They should be, and need to be given a reason to be Illini fans. No argument there. But if I had to guess, I would guess more kids who grew up in Illinois end up at Wisconsin or Iowa than they do at Illinois. It requires a massive refocus and maybe it's just me but I don't feel like the...

As a UIC grad The whole UI system needs a massive injection of energy. I don't think UIC should just be an extension of Illinois. The schools are really not that similar and their "vibes" or whatever are not that similar. I would love for busloads of UIC students to shuttle down to Memorial...

How brave of them to give everyone some form of B or C and then giving the B's to most of the NIL heavy schools. Have they figured out how clicks are baited or not??? So mild.
